..and....that 49% of those surveyed believe country is worse off than a year ago.
I believe that our country has become dark and scary for many, with medical debt mounting as the poorer half of our citizens get poorer.
Food prices aren't getting any lower..gas is a bit better---but still high.

So...does this translate into a Blue wave? Will Trump even let a Blue wave happen?

I hope it does..the potential for hours and hours of amusement is there...if Congress actually and seriously attempted to curb the President.


Democrats hold a slight advantage heading into the midterm elections in a new poll from The New York Times and Siena University.

The poll found that 48% of registered voters would support a Democratic candidate if the midterm elections were held today, compared to just 43% for a Republican candidate. The poll also showed skepticism toward President Donald Trump's policies, with 47% of registered voters saying they "strongly disapprove" of how he is handling his job as president.

The poll surveyed 1,625 registered voters nationwide from Jan. 12 to 17 and advertised a margin of error of 2.8%.
A 51% majority of Americans also say that Trump's policies have made their lives less affordable.
Trump's approval ratings on the economy are, on average, slightly lower than his overall approval ratings.
The president's approval rating stands at 45% in the latest Wall Street Journal poll, at 41% in Reuters/Ipsos, and an average of all the most recent national polls compiled by Real Clear Politics puts Trump's approval at 42%, with 55% giving him a thumbs down on the job he's doing.
 
Hardly surprising. It will be another 2018 and MAGA will pretend to be shocked and they never saw this coming and will claim everyone cheated.

That's the interesting thing....what form the denial would take. I imagine the full court press in the courtroom.
Martial law? Rule election void by decree?
Trump knows that if the Dems take control of Congress..he's toast.

You'd think that an educated person would have lost faith in polls after the Beast's and the Kamala's whopping.
 
The party not in power always makes gains in midterms. This is not a shock. Midterms dont matter anyway.

They had the same denial in 2018, despite all the polling showing they were going to get destroyed. I remember some of them actually claiming they were going to gain seats. It's incredible how these people never learn.

Not always. There have been some exceptions, like Bush in 2002. The question is how badly they will take a thumping.

Historically, you're not wrong.

But in this space and time....if the Dems gain any real power..there is the potential for a lot of mischief.

stay tuned~
 
Polls were also suggesting there would be a red wave in the 2022 midterms. People on the right and left have a habit of making more out of polls than they should.

It's amazing that the Democrats never learn regarding Trump. He's always been defeated, at least according to polls.

Oh, he's taken his beatings AT the polls as well.....unless you're still in denial about 2020?
